Mike I've always considered to just be boxer(M Bison/Barlog). Vega and Geki is more of a stretch considering other than the claw, they are almost nothing alike. If you look at the ninjas in the SF series, none of them look like pop culture ninjas, which I think is intentional. Maybe they're like "every other ninja depiction is kind of the same, our ninjas will look nothing like pop culture ninjas". That said, I LOVE pop culture ninjas like Hanzo from Samurai Showdown and Ryu Hayabusa so a Geki return would be awesome for me!!!

I don't think Eagle was gay. I think he's just there for business only, and as a fighter, you can't allow yourself to fall for female opponents because it could cause you to lose focus of the fight and not to keep your guard up as much as you should and you might not fight as hard as you would have otherwise. We already know that Morrigan uses her charm on men for that specific reason. So why put yourself at that disadvantage? Just stick to business, get the job done, and leave. Now if he was actually hitting on some of the guys, I might be more inclined to believe he was gay. But until that happens, he's straight in my book.

It was said Joe was considered to be in Alpha 3 as a convict fugitive, but that idea was transfered to Cody. One aspect of Joe's moveset is present in Cody's, where Joe's sobat kick ("Power") became one of Cody's command attacks. The convict fugitive idea is present in SF5's Shadaloo's database, where Joe uses the professional name "Super Star" to avoid be recognized. Interesting, Alpha 3 was the first game of the Alpha series to drop a SF1 character to return with a Final Fight character to "counter-balance", havind just a new Final Fight char and no new SF1 char (A1 have Adon&Birdie w/ Guy&Sodom, and A2 have Gen w/ Rolento. Also interesting, but off-topic, Cody have two additional command moves in Alpha 3 Upper exclusive for SFA Anthology (for PS2): Jaw Breaker and Wall Crusher. Finally, Eagle was turned "ghey" also as a Freddy Mercury homage. And I respect it 100%, because it's a homage to a great professional, not a forced thing. BTW, Eagle is my main in CvS2. 😘

Capcom was race and gender swapping characters before if became popular. Now, it seems like every Marvel and DC character is gender or race swapped. Ahead of their time?

In regards to Joe from SF I, you completely missed the real American karate/kickboxing champion he's CLEARLY a reference to - namely Joe Lewis. No, not the Brown Bomber. The other Joe Lewis was a karate and kickboxing powerhouse known for his murderous right side kick. Look him up, he's 100% worth the time to learn about.

Actually he is more inspired by Benny the Jet Urquidez as his moves resembles Bennys moves particularly his signature spinning back kick

@@LunaticReason I disagree. I know the video mentions Urquidez, and I know very well who Benny The Jet is. Lewis had similar moves in his arsenal. Yes, he was best known for his power right side kick, but he also used the spinning back and spinning side kick. Look at the game character and look at video of Joe Lewis fighting and training. It's as obvious as Balrog (US version) and Mike Tyson. Perhaps Capcom looked at multiple kickboxers for inspiration, and to be fair, Urquidez was more current at the time the game was made, but Lewis was still famous and well known to martial arts fans at the time, too. I just think the connection is obvious and more likely than Urquidez.

I came here to say the same thing about Joe Lewis. It's not farfetched to think Joe was based on Joe Lewis, considering Sagat was also based on the greatest Muay Thai fighter in history of the same name. I doubt Joe was based much on Benny Uriquidez. 🤷🏾♂️

There is something charming about Ryu's design in SF1 Red head Ryu is cool. He looks fit but not hyper muscular like in later games. Like Goku in the 23rd Tenkaichi Budoukai Arc (Piccolo Jr. Saga)

His papal shoes were weird tho. I mean, even Ken, a mere palette swap, doesn't wear shoes. Why would a karateka wear shoes while fighting anyway?

@@Kain5th SFll IS the sequel to SFl but earlier in the game’s development, Capcom were going to name it Final Fight ll but they never did because it had no real connection to the main characters of the og Final Fight but in later games they confirmed both games to be canon in the same timeline so hope this helps clear up some stuff.

@@Kain5th Final Fight was originally going to be the sequel to Street Fighter. The original name for Final Fight was Street Fighter ‘89. All the way to its release in testing sites. Believe it or not the only reason the name didn’t stick is because arcade owners and goers said that the game was too much unlike the original Street Fighter game so Capcom gave it a new name, Final Fight. In the story, Mike Haggar is described as a former Street Fighter, not wrestler. The story (at least the arcade) took place in 1989.
